FIGURE 1 Palatable plant biomass of undisturbed and disturbed plots across five sites (A) and each site (B) (mean ± standard error).
FIGURE 2 Plant species richness of the undisturbed and disturbed plots across five sites (A) and each site (B) (mean ± standard error).
FIGURE 3 Soil water storage of the undisturbed and disturbed plots across five sites (A) and each site (B) (mean ± standard error)
FIGURE 4 Soil organic carbon stock of undisturbed and disturbed plots across five sites (A) and each site (B) (mean ± standard error).
FIGURE 5 Soil total nitrogen stock of undisturbed and disturbed plots across five sites (A) and each site (B) (mean ± standard error), soil total phosphorus stock of undisturbed and disturbed plots across five sites (C) and each site (D) (mean ± standard error), soil total potassium stock of undisturbed and disturbed plots across five sites (E) and each site (F) (mean ± standard error).
FIGURE 6 Relationship between palatable plant biomass and plateau pika disturbance intensity across five sites (A) and each site (B) based on linear models (LMs). An adjusted local smoothed regression line (A) and five adjusted local smoothed regression lines (B) were used to determine the relationship between the disturbance intensity and each palatable plant biomass with data from five sites and individual site data, respectively.
